I like fairies (thus why I am wearing fairy wings in the picture). Good grammar rocks, too. It doesn't have to be perfect but I get frustrated when people completely disregard it. I like every color except pink. I hate the wind. Sometimes, I carry around a little teddy bear I found at an antique store. His name is Robert. I dress very eccentrically. It's not unusual for me to wear a prairie dress one day and a Mod dress (think Austin powers) the next. I don't dye my hair, or wear much make-up. I think it's sad that no one puts any emphasis on natural beauty anymore. I think it's a good thing to be open and educated about sex and other issues that are considered taboo. I have a hard time seeing where homophobics are coming from.

Basically, I'm just some weird teenager in Arizona. If I haven't scared you off already, feel free to drop me a line. -Danielle

Well here it goes:
I really like this guy we'll call Jason. I told my friend and she claims she likes him too. She keeps telling me she dsen't like him but i fooled ehr on this crush calculator thing and her 1st one was Jason!
Well my friend is in 7th grade and I'm in 8th and the guy is in 7th.
Is he too young for me anyways?
I think he might have a little crush on me though and i want to confront my friend, but i don't know what to say.
Please don't say try to talk to her, i need some other options.
Thanks in advance!
I rate high for help. (link)
There's really no need to confront her. Just forget that you ever found out about your friend liking him and go about your business pursuing Jason. She can't get mad at you for pursuing him if she would never truly admit to you herself that she liked him, because no one's a mind reader. If you two do end up dating, then you might want to talk to her about it, but until then, there's no need to.

He's not "too young" for you... though if you guys went out and it lasted it would make things harder when he's in middle school and you're in high school next year. Don't let an age year difference stop you if you really like him, regardless.


ok. i was going out w/ this guy for about 2 months. we realy liked each other, and everything, but then i realized that i still liked this other guy, and id nevr gotten over. so i dumped him, cuz i thought it wouldnt b fair to go out w/ him wen i liked another guy. well, i immediately regretted it, and i still like him, but he wont talk to me and he says he really hates me. i apologized a million times and tried to talk him into going back out w/ me. he said he still liked me, but he cant trust me, bcuz i dumped him for another guy, and he doesn't want his heart broken again. so wat should i do? i rly rly like him, and i wanna go back out w/ him, but he just dosnt trust me. (link)
You should tell him that an untrustworthy person would have just pretended that she didn't like anyone else and let him live a lie. A trustworthy person is honest and you were really trying not to hurt him by waiting to get back with him until you were over this other guy for sure. He's not going to forgive you unless he really wants to, though, so the best you can hope for is that he decides to, and if he doesn't, you don't really have control over it and will either just have to wait until things cool off a little or move on.


ususally i GIVE Advice on this site, but i guess im asking now - this question is for the guys out there, i dont want to hear " get over him " because im perfectly aware that i need to, and im working on it -

i met this guy, brad - we met through friends and i found out he liked me, so i started liking him. we were amazing together. i really fell for him. we were always together, he was so sweet. and so funny - then one day it just ended. he said he couldnt date me. i was pretty upset but i went on with my life i guess even tho i still liked him. after that we were just friends, but every once in a while we would be "together" again for like a week and then, after that wed just be friends again i do everything for him - and now hes just such an asshole to me. hes all over girls in front of me. and it hurts because i still feel so much for him, i never got any closure. and its not fair. i dont understand what these whores have that i dont? even his friends tell me hes stupid for doing this to me - and now ive become like bestfriends with all his friends. theyr all so good to me except him, so i see him like everyday. i dont know. what the hell is this guys problem? (link)
He's a stupid boy who doesn't know what he wants, like 99% of the rest of the teenage population. I know that sounds cynical, but it's true. A lot of times guys don't even know why they themsevles are doing stupid shit, they just do it! Many times, it comes down to being afraid of getting hurt and being committed and they close themselves off. It's something that he will change himself when he matures enough to, but there's nothing you can really do about it.

I say go for one of his friends, since they're all so nice to you. That will screw with him so badly, and he'll want you back, but by then you will have realized what a unworthy jerk he is and probably won't care. Revenge can be sweet. hehe


First of all, please don't give me the evils or alcohol or drugs or any crap like that, I'm of legal age where I live.
Secondly, about a month ago, I got drunk. This was the first time I got actually drunk with a hangover and all. I used to drink before that and ocassionally got tipsy but this time I let all self control go and downed a two six of Smirnoff with my friend. I threw up and was sick all of the next day.
About a week later, I took a sip of Vodka again and promptly threw up. Now, everytime I thing about drinking Vodka, I feel like I know I'm going to be ill.
New Years is coming up and I bought a lot of alcohol and now I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it. Can any one find a remedy for this? The thought of not being able to drink is thoroughly depressing. (link)
Maybe it's just with vodka. It's some pretty nasty stuff. Maybe if you just stick with fruitier drinks with some type of other hard liquor in them you'll be okay? Fruitier drinks or "chick" drinks allegedly always give worse hangovers though due to all the sugar, so be careful with that. I don't know what you think about beer but that's a good deal different from vodka.

Either way, I've become sick once off of vodka and I had the same thing you did for a while, but it does go away completely after a month or two. I still stay away from it though...it tastes horrible and just isn't worth it to me.


Okay, here's the story:
when i was 9 years old, i found out that i had a sister, named Elisabeth. she is now 20, and i'm 13. I have only seen her 3 times in my entire life, why? because she hates me. Now i know alot of you are gonna say "but she DOES love you" she doesnt. She absolutely hates me. She never gives me her number, nor her email. She hides from me--litteraly! she lives in my state (i THINK) but i dont know where. My dad has no contact with her, and my mom isnt related to her at all. So my sister ends up hanging out with my cousin, (FYI my cousin is like, Miss. Perfect and is really nice, etc.) like the sister she never got. Now i'm tired of crying, but i do love her. What the hell do i do? i mean, i cant forget about her, i cant talk to her, WTF?!?!?!?!! (link)
Maybe she has a really awful relationship with your father and doesn't want to have a close connection with him. Who knows. Worrying about it will never make her stop being an idiot. Crying won't make her love you. If she won't make you worth her time, why let her take up yours? Just try to use the love you are lucky enough to have from your parents to fill in the void she creates.


Hey guys, I want to get my belly button peirced but I just need to know how much it costs and if it will hurt? I'm not very good with pain so I'm kind of scared. Also is it hard to take care of? I'm mainly worried about the pain so if you could tell me if it hurts that would be great. THANKS!

I'm not speaking from experience there, but generally when you're sticking a huge ass needle into your belly it's going to hurt, and it's usually way overpriced.


Ok, i recently posted a "get advice" thing because my sister hates me, and wanted to know what to do about it. So i started to talk to my friend, Mel who is REALLY good with advice, and i went on and on on how horrible my life was and she said:
her: NO
her: don't even start on that "my whole life" shit
her: okay!
her: You life has sucked i guess
her: I mean, duh, you've had a family, and money, and you get anything you want. You have both parents who love you
her: My dad died on christmas eve, my family has NO money, my mom is depressed
her: my older brother won't move out
her: don't even start saying that your whole life has sucked
her: because you have NO CLUE what a sucky life is like!
and then she signed off. Now her away messages says "Yeah, pretty pissed right now. Don't feel like talking. Be back on later." and i totally can relate, but i just REALLY hope i dont lose her friendship. Like, she's really the only person who understands me, and has been there for me. I really dont want to lose her. And i thought since we were such good friends i could just sorta cry on her shoulder, when it turns out she was the one who wanted to cry i guess. What do i do? i called her house, but her brother said she was sleeping, although i really dont think she was. What i want to know is, 1. how do i know she'll still be my friend, and 2. what do i do when i need to get this off my chest? cause i obviously need someone to talk to :(

Thanx,

-Daddy's Little Defect (link)
Okay wait a minute...her dad died on xmas eve, as in 5 days ago?...and you were bitching to her about stuff?! COMMON SENSE! It should be pretty obvious that she can't help other people right now. Wait for things to cool off and then apologize, but don't be angry if she isn't willing to forgive you right away. I honestly wouldn't blame her.


Ok well here is my story. I am a 16/f I have a 5 month old baby boy with this wonderful guy! Here is where the problem comes in, today me and him were talking about our relationship. (We date) And well he broke up with me. We have been together for 2 years! I am head over heals in LOVE with this boy! Like honest to God there is no question about it. What should I do? Because he said that he feels really bad because he hurt me I mean he cried because I was crying (because he hurt me by breaking up with me) Well I just need someone to tell me why he would have done this!! I really love him and he really loves me, I don't know why he did it and I want him back. HELP! Both he and I didn't want our relationship to affect our child. That is why I am asking. I think our break up might affect the baby...What can I do? (link)
I don't want to sound like a bitch, but you never considered this possibility? Do you really expect a 16 year old boy to know what he wants, let alone be mature enough to take responsibility for a serious relationship AND a child? You're going to need to start planning your own life without him because he probably won't always be there. Most who become fathers when they're teens don't stick around. Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Good luck.


Do you guys believe that high school sweethearts can last throughout adulthood? I've heard from many people that if they end up getting married they'll just end up miserable. Or that most end after senior year. (link)
While I do believe that people can honestly love each other at any age, people change so much when they're young that shit happens and things end. Most of the time, they don't last. Do they ever? Yes, but the odds are against them and that's why it doesn't happen too often. When people get married really young, especially to someone they've been with since high school, many times they feel like they've missed out or wonder what it's like to be with someone else, and end up cheating or just being completely unhappy and resenting their spouse.


My name is Alex, I am a female, and I’m thirteen years old.

Well I have this friend I knew since the 5th grade, and now we are in the 8th grade, and she has changed, a lot. And she has been telling me I changed but I think it's the opposite, she's changed! She has gotten meaner than ever since Elementary school. Anyways, the day before a dance at our school, I told her that I like a guy that she knows & that is in every single one of her classes. May I add, he is also my ex-boyfriend. But then when the dance came, she started dancing with the guy I like. I got pretty mad, after all, she knows I like him and she just dances with him in front of me! I don’t know what to do, I am not going out with the guy, but I like him. But then I don’t want to ruin our friendship over a guy. But I really like this guy though. Please Help!
(link)
You wouldn't be ruining the friendship over a guy. This is just the catalyst- the thing that's pushing it over the edge. It's been building up to this point, as you've said she's just become meaner over the years. Try hanging out with some new people for a while. Don't put up with her crap just because you feel obligated to, or you'll never have any fun, and that's an important thing to do!:)



Hello, Last night me and 3 of my friends went out and did some stuff (nothing sexual). And well one of these friends I've liked for a little while now. And the whole time she was looking for boys. Her boyfriend left her for another girl about 2 or 3 weeks ago. And I guess I feel like giving up. I don't know if I should or not. Oh well, I just want some feedback. Please.
Thanks,
Nab. (link)
Let her know that you like her and see what happens. The worst she can do is she might reject you, but if she is a true friend she'll stay friends with you afterwards. If not, then she wasn't a sincere friend to begin with. Good luck.


So I haven't seen my boyfriend a lot lately. I'm afraid he's losing interest in me. He was sick before so he couldn't come see me. I haven't seen him in 2 weeks. I thought the break would bring us closer but it he hasn't been able to get a ride. I really think I'm not going to see him until next year which would be a month of not seeing him. Is it wrong to get upset about it? It feels like it is. I see him once every week or so.. So it feels like I haven't been around him in 2-3 months and people are saying that I'm too emotional.. (link)
No, you have every right to be upset. It really sucks not being able to see the one you care about, and it sucks even more knowing that they probably wouldn't care either way. You need to talk to him about where this relationship is going, because it doesn't sound like it's making any progress. It might be time to let go, but you won't know unless you really talk to him about it first...


OKAY... please do not anwser this question unless you are 100% sure

Can you get pregnant if you havent had you period yet?!?! (link)
Don't listen to that last person. It is dangerous if the guy cums inside of you, but it does NOT automatically mean you're pregnant, it just greatly increases the chances.

If you mean that you have never had a period yet, the chances that you could get pregnant are very slim, but it is still possible. You must take into consideration that even if you've never had a period, your body might be getting ready to start it and therefore becoming able to produce children.

In the future, be careful and try to use some form of birth control, even if you still haven't had a period yet, just to be safe.


Does anyone know of any online sites where I can learn how to play my guitar for free? I would really seriously appriciate it more than anything! (link)
I think a book would be better than a web site. You most likely can get a guitar for dummies book in a book store or online for 10 or 20 dollars. In the end, it's probably worth it compared to the lack of quality you'll likely find on the internet.


hey guys, after your period, when is the best time to have sex if you WANT to get pregnant?
22/f (link)
Approximately two weeks after your period starts. Not to get too graphic here, but when your discharge gets especially gel- ish like and sticky, it means you're ovulating, which is when you're most fertile. They make monitors to tell you when you're most fertile, if you want to be really dead on about it. I think they're found somewhere near the pregnancy tests in drug stores. Good luck!


What the crap does this " ♥ " mean?
(link)
I don't know, but I wish someone would make it stop!! Oooh the stupidity!!


what are some really good classic hits that everyone knows but never knows who sings them?

ex: Super Freak. who sings that?

those are the type of songs im looking for. please and thank you!

(link)
Pretty sure Rick James sang that. (I used past tense because he is dead now.)

if you go to musicspace.com and search for 80's hits cds I'm sure you'll find a lot of the songs you like. :)


I need to get a new perfume, and I want my boyfriend to like it. What are some inexpensive (under $35) perfumes that guys will like? I started wearing JLO Still, but my boyfriend never even commented it.. and also my mom said it smelled bad. Any other suggestions? (link)
I like down to earth kind of scents..like things from crabtree and evelyn. Miracle is all right too... honestly though, I don't think he gives a crap about your perfume. A lot of guys don't. Just because he doesn't comment on it doesn't mean he hates it. It just means he's probably focusing on different aspects of you. He'll probably be happy no matter what, as long as you don't have rank B.O. or something like that. :-D


About a month ago i met this kid. One of my best friend's friend, Ashley is in love with him. After I started to talk to him, i started to like him alot. He started to like Ashley. Then we started hanging out and we were hooking up pretty much. After my friends friend found out i liked him she pretty much wanted to kill me and hates me now. I just let her have him. Now his birthday is coming in a few days and i want to get him a present. He invited me over his house just to hang out on his birthday. Ashley said if I went she wud dump him. I dont know if he cares but I feel bad. I feel terrible if his girlfriend broke up with him over me. In the past he had said he would choose me over her but im over him I just want to be friends. What should I do? (link)
He's not worth it. If he was, he would have just gone out with you in the first place.


okay, i know this is gonna sound like all those other stupid guy questions, but i have to ask. I like two guys. One is my age, which is 13, and he is tall, cute, and athletic. The other is 16, he's not really that good-looking but i think he's really funny and cool. I'm a little afraid because he might expect me to go further than i feel comfortable. I don't know who to "go after". Could someone help? thanks in advance!
(link)
Go with whomever you get along with better and find more interesting. Don't go with someone for superficial reasons like age and looks. If you think things might go somewhere with the 16 year old, make it very clear what your boundaries are BEFORE you date. If he doesn't respect them from the start, you know that he probably isn't the greatest person for you to date. Don't automatically assume he'll be a pig, though. Give him a chance to prove he's a good guy.
